Harvey was a son of Elizabeth "Betsy" Westmoreland and the husband of Diana Hatfield. He has a Kentucky birth record that gives his date and place of birth as 25 Nov 1856 in Clinton County, Kentucky, and his mother as Betsey Westmoreland. Betsy was not married at the time of Harvey's birth, which is indicated by his surname of Westmoreland and by the birth record of his sister, Phoeba Westmoreland, born 4 years prior, which indicates Betsy's single status. There is no record of her ever marrying. She is not the Elizabeth Westmoreland who married Joel Daniel in Alabama before 1850 and lived and died in Panola County, TX. She was a daughter of Sally and John Westmoreland and had 8 children listed as hers on the 1860 census from Clinton County, KY.

A marriage record for Harvey Westmoreland and Diana Hatfield has not been found by this writer. However, the marriage was reported to have been in existence 12 years at the time of the 1900 census, indicating that the couple married about 1888. Harvey and Diana's children included: Ona Grover "Onie," Dillard, Delila Mai, Garland, Silas "Si," Sam Harlan, and Victoria "Victory."

Where Harvey lived, as documented by census records:
1860--Clinton County, Kentucky (in east central Kentucky on the KY-TN border)
1870--Clinton County, Kentucky
1900--Clinton County, Kentucky
1910--Pickett County, Tennessee (in the eastern section of Tennessee on the TN-KY border, north of Overton and Fentress Counties, south of Clinton County, KY)
1920--Cave City, Barren County, Kentucky (south central section, north of Monroe County, which is next to Cumberland, next to Clinton)
1930--Davidson County, Tennessee (north central Tennessee)

In census records from 1850-1870 family roles were not specified; however, instructions for the 1850 census were to begin the family's list of names with the father and mother, then the oldest child residing at home to the youngest, and then any boarders or hired help.

Residences of Elizabeth "Betsy" Westmoreland as documented by census records (The 2 Kentucky counties are adjacent. Clinton shares a border with Cumberland. ):
1850--Cumberland County, Kentucky-in the large household of John and Sarah "Sally" Westmoreland; listed third, immediately after John and Sally, the father and mother, indicating she was their oldest daughter residing at home, according to the instructions given for the 1850 census for how family names were to be enumerated by the census takers
1860--Clinton County, Kentucky-listed first in her own household with her children, including both Harvey and Pheba (Feriba); 1860 census instructions for naming family members were the same as in 1850--start with the parents, then oldest to youngest child residing at home
1880--Fentress County, Tennessee--working as a servant, unmarried; her daughter Pheba was also living in that county in 1880.
